Nsv: How Many Pants Sizes Have You Dropped? No More Big And Tall

Since surgery on July 17th I've went from a Big and Tall men's 48 inch waist to a regular 40 inch waist.

From Levi's 559's (relaxed straight) to 505's (regular straight). Which is nice not only because it's a smaller, slimmer size, but also because big and tall clothes cost more than regular clothes.

That's me too! Just took a lot of big clothes out of the closet! Boy did that feel good!!

When I had my surgery, on June 19th, I was in a snug 26 jeans, and 5X top.

Today I'm in a fabulous 18 jeans, and XL top...with some Large tops fitting, as well!

:)

Holy cow! That's amazing. For all of you!

I started in a tight 18/20W and 2XL tops and I am currently in mostly 4's and some 3-4's and small or extra small tops. I love my sleeve. I want to lose 15 more pounds.

How tall are you - and what is your goal weight? Sounds like you have had great success!!
